Both Tyreke Evans and Tobias Harris have been troubled by ankle injuries this season. Evans is nursing his third sprain on the same limb while Harris has seen his first batch of consecutive games after missing most of the season with a very severe high ankle sprain. With Evans, you wonder if this is going to be a trend, especially if the Pelicans don’t give him the adequate time to recover. In Harris’ case, you have to weigh his potential against assured rustiness and how long that might last (it’s going three games now).

On the heels of that intro, and because injuries have come in waves lately, here is the seven-step approach owners should take when facing down a tidal wave of broken bodies.
